This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

I'm rereading my book Serving The Reich with increasing dismay, even horror. This, for example. Broaden "European" to "Western" and I have to say that I am no longer as confident in this statement as I was in 2013. That frightens me.

Truss, the economic arsonist who tanked the UK in 49 days, now wants a Trump revolution. Far-right Tory grifters like her wreck everything they touch, then beg for more chaos. Britain doesn’t need MAGA wannabes - it needs these clowns to vanish and take their pound-crashing stupidity with them.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

We need a work requirement for the Missouri GOP. They plagiarize bills, scroll on their phones all day, disrespect the voters, work 90 days a year, and walk away with taxpayer-funded healthcare and a state pension.

What's occurring now was set up a long time ago. Before Obama was president. His presidency only made them come out of hiding. That's all. It wasn't great before now, and we have been dealing with a shaky foundation since Reagan.

Wherever possible please buy your books directly from authors and/or publishers. Even ebooks (then Amazon can't delete them either). We make a better cut and you get the same thing or better, plus Bezos and ilk don't get richer. Win win win.
